CF 5 allowed this using the CFIMPERSONATE tag; CFMX doesn't have any such functionality. > 1. Can this be done by importanting the java.io.file / > oranyotherobject?

The problem is that Java doesn't know anything about your Windows authentication, to the best of my knowledge. > 2. If no CF, or Java, is .net my next best option? This kind of thing is easily accomplished in ASP, actually, so I assume it would also be easy in ASP.NET. Working with Windows authentication and Windows interfaces is generally much, much easier using ASP or ASP.NET. You could conceivably write a COM or .NET component that did the impersonation, but you wouldn't have an easy way to pass the authentication token from CFMX to it. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer, but that's all I've found myself so far.
